    For 2 supposedly good defensive players (Tate and Holiday), it really hasn't meant diddly squat for our team defensively. Miami was getting whatever they want all game long. They are both feisty players, but they're too small and too limited offensively.

    I took this picture in the old financial district and current shopping Mecca in Tianjin for just this moment:

    Somenights you are just outplayed, tonight was one of those nights. This is a .500 team which is a huge improvement so whatever, I'm not panicking over this loss.

    Yeah, I really hope Tate is traded. I'd just rather see anyone else out there at that spot at this point. I don't think he's a bad player, he plays the role of hustle utility guy well enough but we honestly have enough hustle guys. You don't even play on this team if you don't hustle. So his skillset is just redundant here.

    Would love to flip him for even a decent back up center.

    the shooting coach that manages to rework Jalen’s jumper will have a hell of a thing to add to their resume

    Needed 10 more points between Jalen, Jabari or the bench. 5-23 shooting night for those 2. They were all good open shots. We can't afford both having a bad shooting night in the same game.

    Positives:
    -Green was awesome playmaking. (will come handy in the future)
    -Alpi deflected 3 lobs to Bam and 1 intended to Don Juan de Marco.(Learning from previous mistakes) Still don't like Alpi in the free safety role but that's what we're doing apparently.

    -Herro only went 5/10 from threes. I was expecting 10/10

    Ime is almost ALWAYS on point with his post-game analysis. Win or lose, just by listening to him, I learn more about the game. It is so obvious that he "gets" the game so much better than Silas. Silas was often waffling complete nonsense while grinning stupidly. Nice guy, sure, but what a difference.

    (And I am saying that although he pretty much said this was a bad game from Alpi. He's right...but a bad game for Alpi nowadays is a 22/11 game with 3 steals... :)).
